The Peak Club

This institution, which ever since its for-motion has been housed in that quaint building formerly known as the "Homestead," and which bears a not remote resemblance to the toy representations of Noah's Ark, is shortly to find a new do-mickle. There has been some little hitch with the landlord, who wants the Club to take on its back the risk of typhoons, and the Committee have sought and found a new abiding place, The Government Pavilions, intended for the use of the heads of departments, are now in a semi-ramous condition, and have for some time been unoccupied. As these two bungalows'are now not much in requisition they have been allowed to go more and more out of repair. The Club are now to be allowed to enter into possession of them as they stand, put them into repair, and adapt them to the use of the Club. This will cost from $1,000 to $2,000, but as the rent is to be only $16 month the Club can easily afford to incur this outlay.
